The Gators (18-6, .750) edged Tennessee (16-6, .727) for their fourth league title in school history (1998, 2008, 2009, 2013) when the Volunteers lost at Missouri on Sunday. It's the third SEC regular-season title under coach Tim Walton.

It's also the eighth SEC title for the Florida athletics program this year, tying a league record for most in a season. Florida previously accomplished the feat twice, along with Georgia once.

UF (49-7 overall) wrapped up regular-season play this weekend with a series win at South Carolina on Saturday.

Florida will play the winner of the No. 8 vs. No. 9 seed contest between Alabama and Texas A&M on Thursday at 11 a.m. (ET) at John Cropp Stadium.
